Re: Getting up to speed on blade technology?

I assume the i2 looks like the first generation, but I have not seen this yet.

If you have a c3000 chassis, you can directly use the internal DVD.

Another option is to map the virtual DVD (from your PC) to the blade, connect to the console (via OA, network or serial) and start installing.

If the internal SAS controller is still the same, I recommend to set up a hardware RAID on the 2 internal disks!

Hope this helps!RegardsTorsten.

... and I'm sure you need the march 2010 release of hp-ux as minimum for this hardware.

Hope this helps!RegardsTorsten.

Re: Getting up to speed on blade technology?

I'm not a shark on integrety blades. But I will share my knowledge with you.

Basically, it's just another Intgrety server, like any other RX.So You don't need a lot of new knowledge.

You've got an Ilo, like on other later RX servers, wich give you access to a virtual serial console, and you still can telnet to the MP.You can browse the ILo directly or you can connect through the Onboard Administrator.You can mount a virtual DVD through the ILo.

Also there's a connector in the front of the blade. Using a cable, you can connect a serial port, 2 USB connectors and a VGA.
